second subq

[me]

Second subq today nauseous and headache a little hoping this feeling better comes soon last week after first treatment felt like crap so fingers crossed

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling bad. It's early days yet and I'm sure your body will soon adjust to the process. If it doesn't please tell your nurse about it while you are learning, there are other formulations with different concentrations the might suit you better.
I am trying subcutaneous myself in a few weeks, after years of IVIg, so I'll soon know for myself!
Take care and rest up till you're feeling better.

thanks John. I don't know yet went smoother this time just hoping the feeling doesn't last for three days this time

I hope your feeling better today, it can take a while for our bodies to get used to having the juice but for me I used to get headaches 2 days after ivig which slowly disappeared after a few days but now I don't get any :-)

That's the same for me. I had quite bad headaches with ivig but feel better since being on subq. I was told by a few people to eat and drink before treatment and drink during treatment. I hope you're feeling better and things settle for you soon.

Good luck.

I did a lil better this time took a pain med after and slept it off for an hour and a half no headache today and not as crummy as last time. Going to an oncologist next Tuesday a little nervous.

Thanks y'all there isn't anybody in east Texas that I know of that I can talk too. It seems most of the people on here and other sites are from the UK

[john]

Well we Brits just LOVE to chat!!!
But honestly it doesn't matter where you're living, everyone is welcome here!
I know how good it is to share these PID experiences with people who really understand what you're saying, so fire away!!!
Texas seems like a very exotic location when you're sitting in cold and rainy Britain... At least you actually see the sun sometimes!
So you'all keep on posting, we already have a great friend in Elaine, who is American, and tell us your first name soon, it will make you seem even close!!

Hi Patrick,
100 degC is way too hot for me, but I guess I could get used to it!
We were in Texas just the one time when we spent a few days in Houston and Galveston Island on a stopover from Cancun.
Really enjoyed the driving and the food, and the Texan accent knocked us out!!

PS Good luck at the Oncologist's next week!!

Thanks John. I love it here best place in USA in my opinion
